Digiscoping: A Look at Using a Spotting Scope as a Telephoto Lens

CCMachinist · 11-09-2012, 03:51 PM

I was looking at this one.

Bushnell ImageView 15-45x50 2.1 MP Spotting Scope Kit - Optics4Birding.com

This one looks promising

That would be cool for an SR-1, but wtf is that designer thinking as far as plan old handheld ergonomics go?

Yeah I can't imagine holding that thing. But on a steady cam rig, or shoulder, or even car mounts...might be nice. Might be easy to make a waterproof tube for it too

I got my SR-1 up and running today and took to to my local field to see what it can do.

First off the top rail that I got was not level to begin with so I have a slight downward tilt going even at the zero position.

On top of the rail I used the tiberius FSR. Mounted on that I a Short EOTECH and the 3x magnifier with a flip mount.

The Tiberius has positions and half positions. The starting position is what I am calling 0 and two clicks up and aligned with the first long mark on the dial is 1 two more clicks is two ect.

With this setup I got the following

0 was good for 20-30 yards

1 was good from for 40 yards

1.5 to 2 was good for 50 yards range

and 2.5 was good for 60 yards

At the closer distances I could reliable hit within the circle of the Reticule 50-60% of the time and hit the object that was about torso sized 80-90% of the time.

Once I got to 50 feet I was in the ball park of hitting the object I aimed for but not many where within the reticule.

At so yards I was shooting a 50 gallon barrel and I hit with 11 out of about 25-30.

Conditions where far from ideal. I did not use a bi-pod but aimed from a seated position. I did have some cross winds as well. Overall very much like in game play. I did put the SR-1 down and reacquire my target each time.

Few Observations

1.) I was shocked at how little I needed to adjust the FSR. Is this what others have found to be true?

2.) Overall the 60 yard shots where impressive not one shot one kill as there was quite a bit of variability but at 60 yards that is far out of effective range for regular paint and 1 out of 3 being hits was not bad on a barrel that I would say roughly was the size of a medium sized player.

3) I was glad I had the 3x magnifier because it was hard to see the hits on many of the long range targets without it.

Any advice out there to improve.

Is anyone making reliable kills at more than 60 yards I gave up on going higher as it was truly hit or miss for me at that range.

I am going to get together with Trinity and we are going to test some rifled barrels.

I have been shooting the $aints End Game barrel with some really good results

We were getting 100%kills at 70 yards body and gog. Shooting in the kneeling position.

The barrel defies all logic of barrel making. Rough drill twist bore.It is sized so I assume its been honed.

I was using sized FS and shooting thru a 686 shell sizer.

I was also using a Lucid red dot. the HD7

LUCID Red Dot Sights

Trinity says he is having good luck with a rifled barrel.

maybe that is the answer.
